It was Christmas break but I had no money to fly back to New York. And very little money to buy food when the college cafeteria closed. What to do? Walked down a nearby South Miami street and saw trash cans filled with coconuts just like you show. Bonanza! Probably wreaked havoc with my cholesterol levels but I survived a few weeks mostly on those delicious gifts. (Not sure how I pulled the husks off but remember dropping the nuts from a second floor balcony onto the concrete parking lot to crack 'em open.)

Jerry, in California we would call that expanse of water not a River but an Ocean.
